- PublicationNon-Leisure Time Physical Activity for Adult Malaysian and Determinant Factors(2015)
;Ahmad Taufik Jamil ;Rakesh Singh ;Aniza IsmailAzahadi OmarNon-Leisure Time Physical is the main component of physical activity in Malaysia. The aim of this study is to study the associated factors related to Non-Leisure Time Physical (occupational & travel) in Malaysia. This data is from the Third National Health and Morbidity Survey, consisting of 32,575 respondents. It was a cross-sectional study among Malaysian adult, aged 18 years and was conducted using proportional to the size stratified sampling method. Chi square test and logistic regression model were used to analyse the data. The result showed that non-leisure time physical activity (NLTPA) gives more contribution to total physical activity, as compared to leisure time physical activity with percentage of 64.3% and 35.7% respectively. There was a significant association between NLTPA with age (P < 0.001), gender (P < 0.001), ethnicity (P < 0.001), education (P < 0.001), occupation (P < 0.001), income (P < 0.001), marital status (P < 0.001), region (P < 0.001). The main component of physical activity in Malaysia is NLTPA. Promoting NLTPA may have potential to increase physical activity levels in Malaysia. - PublicationPrevalence And Risk Factors for Sedentary Behavior Among Malaysian Adults(2016)
;Ahmad Taufik Jamil ;Norazman Mohd Rosli ;Aniza Ismail ;Idayu Badilla IdrisAzahadi OmarThis paper aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors associated with sedentary behavior among Malaysian adults. This study analyzed data from the National Health Morbidity Survey III, a cross-sectional nationwide study conducted in 2006. A total participants of 33 385 aged 18 and above were randomly recruited through multistage sampling. Sitting time data were collected using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ). Overall prevalence of sedentary behavior was 23.5%. Higher proportion of sedentariness was seen among older (p<0.05), Chinese (p<0.05), divorcee/widower (p<0.05), those who were unemployed (p<0.05), those without formal education (p<0.05) and participants with diabetes (p<0.05), hypertension(p<0.05) and dyslipidaemia (p<0.05). In multivariable analysis, higher likelihood of being sedentary was observed among those with advancing age above 50 (OR between 1.20 and 2.92), Chinese (OR = 1.74, 95% CI: 1.58 - 1.91), unmarried (OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.08 - 1.30), unemployed (OR =1.79, 95% CI: 1.62 - 1.96) and diabetes patients (OR = 1.20, 95% CI: 1.10 - 1.31). One-eighth of total day time was spent on sitting. Nearly one out of four Malaysian adults was considered sedentary. Age, ethnicity, occupational status, marital status and diabetes were likely to be predictors of being sedentary.
